Johnson & Johnson Vicryl Violet Braided 90 cm 0 VP2518

Johnson & Johnson Vicryl Violet Braided 90 cm 0 VP2518 is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of Coated Vicryl Suture occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.

Uses:
The Coated Vicryl Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues
